(D.G.~ I'm glad you liked the last chapter so I updated the story as soon
as I could. Finals and things are getting in they way.)
Chapter 2
The next morning when she woke up her head was pounding. That was how she usually woke up like in the morning. // Oh great, another normal day of school, books and exams. Just what I need to get away from the other place I call home. Besides I have a date tonight to focus on.// Kagome thought to herself as she got up and stood in front of her full-length mirror. She was beautiful and every guy would have been glad to be with her. She had long mid-night black hair that stopped just short of her waist and big beautiful dark blue eyes that shone like jewels in the suns reflection. Now her eyes grew dull and she didn't take as much care in her hair as she used to.
She then walked to the bathroom that was adjacent to her room. She through Hojo's jacket off like it was a germ then started to remove her clothes. She turned the faucet on in the shower. She quickly got in. she just stood there looking up at the showerhead. // I know that time goes on but it feels like it's frozen in time. Nothing seems like it used to be but I like it even though its different.// she shampooed her hair then scrubbed herself thinking about something else. She got out and quickly got dressed for school grabbing Hojo's jacket as she ran out of the room.
" Hi Rumi, whacha up to?" Kagome saw her friends as she walked into the classroom at school that morning. They turned to Kagome and squealed as they saw her in Hojo's letterman's jacket. They migrated from where they were to stand in front of Kagome's desk. " So how'd it go?" One of Kagome's friends to the left of Rumi asked jumping up and down. " Duh, she has his letterman's jacket." Rumi said sarcastically then finished, "details, details and even more details." She gave her friend a big smile. Totally ignoring her demands Kagome said, " Do you guys wanna go with me to the mall after school. to buy a dress for Rumi's party tonight?" She had said the last part after she had gotten a couple of confused and dumbfounded looks. The girls let out an even more exciting squeal, as they already knew what it had meant- Hojo had asked her to the party. The bell rang and the girls scurried to their seats, still giggling about the news they had just received.
A couple of hours later she stood in front of her school that seemed to be a strange and unfamiliar place. // It's just my imagination. Kagome pull it together you need to be strong for your own sake and to show Inu Yasha that you don't need him.// she made her hands into fists. " I'll show him." She said aloud without knowing. " You'll show whom Kagome?" someone said behind her making her jump. She turned around facing Rumi and Eri; the third friend seemed to be missing. Which meant she couldn't make it. " Oh nothing. Just thinking aloud." She said giving them a reassuring smile to calm their nerves and hers, which worked.
" So have you decided what kinda dress you're looking for?" Eri asked her as they entered into the malls front entrance. " No, but that's why I asked you guys to help me. I want something revealing but not too revealing." " You mean something that mentions something." Kagome blushed then motioned for them to enter the first store they came in cross of. They went to three different stores and tried on multiple dresses. Some were too long and others were too big and others were a little bit too revealing. Some looked too old fashion and some just looked horrible. They final stop for today was the store at the end of the mall that they usually saved for last because it was the most expensive and they always found what they wanted there. As Kagome and her friends looked through the racks and racks of clothes. It was Kagome's turn to get something since her friends had already found what they were looking for in the other previous stores.
Then there it was. Hanging on the opposite rack right in front of her. She walked over to it and picked it up. She mentally crossed her fingers then looked at the size and price. It was like today she was on some kind of streak today. It was exactly her size and on sale for 20% off. She squealed happily then hurried over to the dressing rooms. Rumi and Eri saw her walking over to the dressing rooms and hurried over. " So how does it fit?" Eri asked. " See for yourself." Kagome said coming out from the closet like fitting room. It was periwinkle blue with one strap over her right shoulder and it clung to her at all the right places showing off all of her curves. And I was as short as her uniform skirt. "WOW!" the two girls said at once looking her over. A real eye candy to any guy. "It's unanimous I'll take it." Kagome said then returned to her fitting room to change back into her school uniform. Kagome bought the dress then they left the mall. Since Kagome only had three hours until the party she said her good-byes and headed home to get ready.
~Mean while on the other side of the well we join Inu Yasha and company. ~
" Are you sure you didn't do anything to upset her, Inu Yasha?" Miroku said relaxing against the side of Kaede's hut. He and Inu Yasha sat in silence for a while before either one of them started to talk. " No. at least I don't think so. I mean I've been acting like I usually do towards her but then I don't know what's going on in her head. She doesn't talk to me, just Sango." He let his head hang low as Sango, Shippo and Kirara entered the hut. " It has to be something otherwise she wouldn't have cried in front of you." Miroku said putting his left hand under his chin as if he were in deep concentration. " Has she sad anything to you Sango?" he looked up to her as she Shippo jumped off of her shoulder. " No she's been fine. Except." she ended her sentence knowing that what Kagome had told her was not to be shared with the guys and she made a promise and she was not about to break it just because they were worried. " What do you mean except? Except, what?" Inu Yasha had heard what she said and was up on her feet. " Nothing forget I said anything. But she's fine, I know that much for sure. She's just having a rough time, you know keeping up in both here and there." Sango exited the hut in a hurry with Kirara at her tail.
" I don't get women. They are just too hard to get. Anyway back to the main problem. I don't know what to do. One minute she's fine and ready to bite my head off if I do something wrong and now she wont even lift an eyebrow. What if she's sick and then she can't help us search for the jewel." He said then walked over to his corner again. " I don't get you Inu Yasha. First you're worried about Kagome then your worried about her not being able to search for the jewel for you. Aahh. now I see. Your in love with the girl." Miroku taunted Inu Yasha but he didn't make any attempt to move. " Are you sure you want to lose your life so early monk?" he growled getting up. " Now, now, Inu Yasha. It's obvious that she has feeling for you too. But then she saw you confess your love to Kikyo. How would you feel if she had done that to you? Miserable, unable to go on knowing that you were dumped for a old bag of bo." "Finish that sentence and you take your last breath." Inu Yasha picked up Miroku by his collar and threatened to claw his throat out. "I'm sorry for that but I'm just imagining what she might say about her not and never being good enough in your eyes. Look what you need to do is go to her and tell her what you feel or you can confront her about what's going on and reassure her that you'll always be there when she needs someone to talk too."
(D.G.~ so how did you like that chapter? I promise there will be a lemon in the next chapter or you can hunt me down and kill me.)
